Terms Used In Tennessee Code 54-12-146

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Road: includes public bridges and may be held equivalent to the words "county way" "county road" or "state road". See Tennessee Code 1-3-105

If the appeal is from the action of the monthly county court in establishing or refusing to establish the road improvement district, the circuit court shall enter an order as it deems just and proper in the premises, and the clerk of the circuit court shall certify the same to the monthly county court, which shall proceed thereafter in the matter in accordance with the order of the circuit court.
